Communication in Relationships
*Difficult Conversations
Matthew 5.9 says “Blessed are the peacemakers…” It does not say "Blessed are the peacekeepers." At times, the most loving thing you can do for someone else is to confront them and speak the truth in love to them. If you’ve been avoiding a difficult conversation; this teaching is definitely for you!!!
- Discern the type of person you are dealing with
- Season your words with salt and speak the truth in love
- Stay focused and don't let the other person’s response take the conversation in a direction it was never intended
- Differentiate hurt and harm
- Have a difficult conversation with yourself…

This ten-week series covers every aspect of communication, such as:
- Having a difficult conversation.
- Why Satan uses people closest to you to distract you.
- How to balance grace and truth.
- Motivating your man God’s way.
- The difference in communication styles between men and women.

Biblical Job Description of Husband and Wife
Angry, disappointed or frustrated in your marriage? When your expectations for the role of the husband and wife are based on non-biblical sources, your marriage is destined to be disappointing. There is hope for transformation! This two-part teaching examines the biblical job description for the man, taken from Ephesians 5:21-33 and for the woman, taken from 1 Peter 2:13, 3:1-7. Start equipping yourself so you don’t have to spend your whole marriage trying to save it!
Can't We All Just Get Along?
Men and women have misunderstood each other for generations. How can we get out of those ineffective communication cycles? “One of the truths that I have discovered is that most men learn how to communicate with women from other men, and most women learn how to communicate with men from other women,” says Burge. Therefore, it is essential that we learn to communicate with each other. This four-part series is a powerful tool to equip men and women in dealing with the opposite sex. If you are tired of being MISunderstood, this humorous and educational teaching will prove to be a tremendous help!
Choices that Will Change Your Family
Conflict Resolution
How different would life be if you could have smoother relationships with the people closest to you? Few things in life can drain us of energy like strife in a close relationship. The goal of conflict in your life is so that Satan can fragment your focus. He wants to shift your focus from accomplishing God's will for your life into trying to get the upper hand in a troubled relationship. Being right all the time is the wrong way to keep relationships! In this teaching you will learn how to negotiate win/ win outcomes, how to speak the truth in love, and the rules for having a healthy fight!!! We must understand the difference between forgiveness, trust, and reconciliation, because they are not the same. You will get yourself in trouble if you do not begin to make this distinction!
Crazy Folks
Relationships are a vital part of our lives. Are you in an unhealthy relationship, feeling abused or rejected? Do you feel that sometimes you just don’t know how to do deal with your family? Conquering these unhealthy relationships is a step in attaining God’s best for your life. In this biblical teaching series you will learn how to set boundaries, stop enabling people in unhealthy patterns, and break free from other people’s poor choices and their painful consequences.

Forgiveness: The Gift that Sets You Free
The word forgiveness means to cancel a debt and relinquish all rights to collect on it. To hold on to this debt keeps you chained to the perpetrator emotionally. Satan will deceive you into believing that not forgiving someone will punish them, but the only person who is punished is you. Holding on to un-forgiveness keeps your mind and soul imprisoned with the person. We must examine our hearts to see how many relatives, boyfriends, girlfriends, or employers are behind bars with us. Staying in un-forgiveness victimizes you far worse than the actual offense. It has the power to cripple you emotionally and spiritually. This teaching examines the differences between forgiveness, reconciliation, and trust. It identifies that forgiveness is not approving, excusing, justifying, nor reconciling with the person or what they did to you. Walking in forgiveness can be a reality for you and this teaching will show you how.
How to Handle Anger
Looks Aren't Everything
Have you ever wrestled with envy or jealousy? Do you look at the success of your friends, family, or colleagues and feel disdain because of your own failures? Are you in a season where comparing yourself to others is causing you to feel badly about yourself? Jealousy is the desire to keep what's rightfully yours. Envy is when you want what belongs to someone else. Saul, whose name means "the people's choice', was a King who stood head and shoulders above everyone else. However, it was his envy of David, a shepherd boy that eventually drove Saul to his death. Saul's internal dissatisfaction made him react externally, which resulted in irrational and dangerous behavior. In this teaching, using Saul as an example we learn: the difference between jealousy and envy, the dangers of comparison, the insecurities that lead to foolish behavior, how to help others who struggle with jealousy and envy, and the principle that we can't make the best use of our strengths if we fail to deal with our weaknesses. Without this teaching you cannot live successfully as a Christian!

You Can't Rush Love
Did you know that new relationships have been proven to be as addictive as some drugs? If you have ever been in love you are familiar with the intoxicating feelings that occur as you get to know someone. These are exciting and captivating, but they are a poor foundation to build a long-lasting relationship on. You must allow the relationship time to experience all of the seasons of life or you may make a premature decision to get married; only to one day realize that the person you married is not the person you thought they would be. Countless numbers of couples have rushed to the altar, because in their words their marriage "would be different". Relationships are a marathon, not a sprint! Just about anyone can look impressive in the sprint, but a strong relationship is built on character that has endurance during the marathon. This exciting teaching will expose you to relationship killers that don't show up in the sprint and will prevent you from making a hasty decision while you are under the "love bug".
